The Small Product Lab is a ten-day course that walks you through the creation, planning, and launching of a small product. The third Small Product Lab just wrapped up and we’ve been blown away by the results. So many awesome products created in just 10 days!
A big congratulations to everyone who created and launched a product through this Small Product Lab! To see all of the products, check out the full collection.
We couldn’t have run the Small Product Lab without the fabulous group of alumni mentors who helped guide participants through the challenge. All three have gone through the Small Product Lab themselves and spent countless hours answering questions and sharing advice. A huge thank you to our mentors:
Creators who participated in the Lab were eligible to win an awesome prize package, geared towards giving the winner tools and resources to take their creative business to the next level. Here’s the prize package:
- 3 month subscription to ConvertKit
- Copy of Authority, by Nathan Barry
- Copy of The Art of Work, by Jeff Goins
- 3 month membership to Fizzle
As far as judging goes, we looked for products that were small, simple, and complete. But it wasn’t just about the final product. We start the Small Product Lab in groups, because there’s power in community. So in addition to the product itself, we looked at participation in the Facebook group, on Twitter, and during the video chat with our alumni-mentors. We looked for participants who completed the daily assignments and helped/encouraged others along the way.
Now, on to the winners! Like with previous Small Product Labs, we couldn’t just have a single winner and leave it at that. That’s why, in addition to the overall winner, we have honorable mentions and a people’s choice category (for creators who, in addition to launching a great final product, were recognized by fellow participants as being particularly helpful throughout the Lab).
